Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Recipe
Take your favorite ooey gooey, freshly baked chocolate chip cookie and convert it into a pie, and that is what you have here. A slice of Heaven, basically!
This chocolate chip cookie pie (also know as Derby Pie) is made with all the traditional ingredients you would find in a classic chocolate chip cookie, poured into a pie crust and baked.
What is Derby Pie?
Derby pie was created in the Melrose Inn of Prospect, Kentucky, by George Kern with the help of his parents. It is often associated with the Kentucky Derby.
I’ve seen a few variations…one where it resembles chocolate pecan pie made with corn syrup and Bourbon , the other like this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie with walnuts. Their original recipe is classified, but this is similar to the Melrose Inn’s famous version.
Ingredients Needed
Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy pie recipe.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- All-purpose flour
- Large eggs
- Vanilla
- Finely chopped walnuts
- Milk chocolate chips
- 1 9-inch homemade pie crust (par-baked), or one frozen store-bought pie shell
- vanilla ice cream , for serving (optional)
Recipe Variations
- Switch up the chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate chips, but you can easily use white, semisweet, dark, butterscotch, or a combination!
- Change the nuts. This recipe calls for walnuts, but swap them out for pecans, if you prefer.
- Make it boozy. Add in a splash of Kentucky Bourbon!

Serving and Proper Storage
- Serving suggestions. This pie is fairly gooey right from the oven, so for easier slicing ability let it set for a couple of hours, but when it’s still warm. (If you can’t wait that long, I completely understand.) Serving with vanilla ice cream is completely optional, but oh so good!
- Does derby pie need to be refrigerated? Once baked, this pie can sit out for a day (covered with foil.) After that, it should be refrigerated and will keep up to 3 days.
- Can you freeze derby pie? This version freezes well. Allow to cool completely, then wrap pie tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

Hello, can this chocolate chip cookie pie be made without nuts? Thank you!
Yep, just leave them out.
Love this pie
This was sooooo easy and hands down one of the best desserts we’ve ever had! This is a MUST MAKE! Literally the hardest part is waiting for it to cool enough to take a bite.
I want to make this recipe this week for Thanksgiving. Do you really use melted butter?? I know that melted butter in cookies is a big no-no, but …. I guess it works here?
Yes, melted butter as instructed. This pie is different than making cookies. Enjoy!
I have made this pie twice a week in the last couple of months when I found this beauty. It’s perfect and so very easy. Thank you so much
I made this for a company dinner last night. It was a hit. I made my own crust and didn’t notice that the recipe says to par-bake it before putting in the filling. It turned out fine. The bottom was not mushy at all. I don’t know why you want to par-bake it. Anyway, it was easy and delicious.
Do you think I could substitute the all purpose flour with almond flour? Would it be a 1:1 conversion?
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND, SO EASY & YUMMY! second year making it for thanksgiving. i make a homemade oreo crust first (which is also unbelievably simple & easy) and then pour this right into and bake it!! it does not disappoint.
Hi. I’m so excited to make this! If I’m using a frozen store bought crust do I have to thaw it or bake it first?
No, you shouldn’t need to.
How should I store this pie? I am making it for a party tomorrow just on the counter or does it need to be refrigerated? Also can you freeze the pie pre cooking or how long would it last? I wanted to make one now for Thanksgiving also. Thank you!!!
Hi Sarah – this baked pie will keep airtight at room temp for up to 4 days. After that it would need to be refrigerated. Yes, this is a freezer-friendly pie. You can bake and freeze, or freeze/thaw/bake.
Could you use extra choc chips and leave out the nuts? My grand-daughters would not like the nuts.
You could just simply omit the nuts.
It looks like there is crust on the top also but the recipe doesn’t say so am I just seeing things
Haha, no you’re not seeing things. There’s no crust – a natural crispy topping forms from the ingredients while baking. It’s awesome :)
Delicious and addicting. I drizzled with caramel sauce!!
Oh, Thank you for this recipe!! We LOVE big cookies. :) Nothing like a cookie pie!!
We made this pie. Added extra chips and some hershey’s syrup to it. Turned out DELISH!! My children are already asking to make another. Thank you!! :)
cc cookie pie.
oh dear.
I made this tonight, and I ate too much. I had NO IDEA it was going to be as delicious as it was! The awesomeness is hard to describe, but it’s impossible to resist. I went twenty points over on Weight Watchers today, and I blame you. I. blame. you.
Warning: Do not make this without a lot of people to help eat it!
I’m just going to come out and say it. I love you. This pie? Heaven on a plate. Really, who needs cards when you have this pie? I can taste it from here. But I’m sure it’s even better when it’s actually in your belly.
I love this pie, so easy to make and tastes great. It has chocolate and I love chocolate. Thanks for sharing this.
I made this for poker tonight, and it was a huge hit. And the 10 minutes to prep, well, I don’t even think it took me *that* long! I made two pies, but I have one left over. I think I need to take it to the housewarming I’m going to tomorrow! I can’t have it in the house…it’s dangerous!
I was lucky because I gave 1/2 of the second pie to Quico and Sujei. Whew (wipes forehead).
Easy and so delicious!!
This was bomb.
Kids and I loved it!
What a brilliant way of combining two amazing foods.
Looks amazing! I love easy so I’ll be trying this! Thanks!
Oh. My. Gosh. Cookie Pie? My head just exploded. If I weren’t already making a berry cobbler tonight, I’d be making this immediately.
And it looks so easy! Love it!
This recipe looks so amazing. I made a mistake at the grocery store. I picked up a graham cracker crust instead. Do you think it would still be good and how long do you think I should bake with GC crust! Thank you
Pie makes everything better.
This one look scrumptious!
Oh and your husband – the man makes videos with you, I think we can let him slide on the card thing, lol.
i have made this pie– many times– it is my ooops having people for dinner – need a dessert- always have a bag of chocolate chips in the house and can whip up a pie crust – I found it in a cookbook called Capital Classics- Junior League – washington d.c………….
enjoy!
Yea!!!!! I have longed and begged for the recipe since I tasted this decadent piece of heaven! It is SO good that I am literally drooling right now thinking about my next piece. I will be making this for poker this Friday night!
I’ll take a piece with some vanilla ice cream please:-)
Of course you made pie! I wouldn’t expect anything less from the pie queen herself.
And not just any pie. This comes close to an ULTIMATE pie if ever I’ve seen one. Sounds like a pretty stellar Mother’s Day if you ask me! Card, or no card!
Amy, this pie looks incredibly tasty! My husband and I both would just die from the deliciousness if I made this! Thanks for sharing and inspiring me with something new… I’ll be saving this to try soon!
Yay Paul!
And, I… I can’t… with this pie. Want. So much. I’m having a physical reaction to the photo.
